FBI Agents Worry White House Will Kneecap Russia Probe

The Don and his Goodfellas

From my time at senior levels in government, the take in this piece in the Daily Beast reads spot on. There are serious concerns here, friends. All those Republicans saying "don't worry, the investigation will go on", are just blowing smoke in our faces, knowingly (knaves) or not (fools):

Two well-connected former FBI employees told The Daily Beast that counterintelligence agents working on the Russian counterintelligence program out of FBI headquarters in downtown Washington met for drinks in the hours after their boss’s firing and shared their concerns: that they would be reassigned elsewhere, and their work on the Russian-Trump associates investigation would come to a grinding halt.

"...it is the duty of those who have accepted Islam to strive unceasingly to convert or subjugate those who have not. This obligation is without limit of time or space. It must continue until the whole world has either accepted the Islamic faith or submitted to the power of the Islamic state."

-- Bernard Lewis, renowned historian of Islam and the Middle East, in The Political Language of Islam, p72-3.

In other words:

"Islam is unique among religions of the world in having a developed doctrine, theology and legal system that mandates warfare against unbelievers."
